Leicester City will be hoping to bounce back from last weekend's defeat to Manchester United when they head to Wembley to take on Tottenham on Sunday.

Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture.

What time is kick-off?

This is the first of two Sunday games in the Premier League this week, and the action gets underway at 1.30pm.

Is it on TV?

It is indeed. City have been chosen for television for the fourth straight game. This one is on Sky Sports and coverage kicks off at 12.30pm on Sky Sports Premier League. On Sky Sports Main Event, coverage doesn't start until 12.45pm.

Who is the referee?

Experienced official Michael Oliver has been selected for this game.

He has been in charge of 24 Leicester fixtures during his career, overseeing 11 City wins, five defeats and eight defeats.

The Foxes haven't done too well with Oliver in charge this term. He was in charge for the 2-1 defeat to Southampton last month, the 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in December and the 1-1 draw with West Ham in October.

Interestingly, Oliver was in charge for the 6-1 hammering at the hands of Spurs in 2017.

What’s the team news?

City have one new addition to the injury list. Marc Albrighton will miss out with a hamstring injury that could keep him out until the end of the season. Claude Puel's only other concern remains Daniel Amartey, who is working his way back from a long-term ankle injury.

In contrast, Spurs have three major injury concerns. Key striker Harry kane is out with an ankle injury, while playmaker Dele Alli is out with a hamstring problem.

Full-back Ben Davies is also ruled as a major doubt having picked up a groin strain.

Who’s in better form?

Undoubtedly, Tottenham come into this one with the most confidence. A recent run of three straight wins in the league have seen them close the gap on Manchester City in second to just five points, and impressively, they've done that without Kane or Alli.

A win here will also see them close the gap on Liverpool, who beat Bournemouth on Saturday, to five points.

Their last defeat came in a 1-0 loss to Manchester United last month. Since then, they have beaten Fulham, Watford and Newcastle in the league. Though, during that time, they also lost both cup games, missing out on penalties in the EFL Cup semi-final against Chelsea, and also losing to Palace in the FA Cup.
